Quentin Chaney will be the favorite to replace Malcolm Kelly as OU's starting wide receiver next season. But Chaney will have plenty of competition for the job this spring. Chaney will have to fend off three talented redshirt freshmen in Ryan Broyles, Tyler Stradford and Corey Wilson.

"The spring will be competitive. (Chaney) will have to keep earning that, but we're hoping that's going to make a difference, just showing he can do it,” OU coach Bob Stoops said. "Other guys like Tyler Stradford and Corey Wilson have really come along through the year and have shown promise to also be those kinds of guys. Corey's solid in route running and catching the ball and Tyler as well. Tyler has exceptional speed, so we'll see if those guys can make a difference.”
•Granger pre-trial hearing moved to April: OU defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger was supposed to have his pre-trial hearing with a Tempe, Ariz., prosecutor earlier this month. But his attorney, Jess Lorona, filed a motion to continue Granger's pre-trial hearing on April 8, where Granger or his attorney will meet with a prosecutor or plead to the court. Granger was arrested back in January, accused of misdemeanor theft just before the Fiesta Bowl.
•Sooners back on the field Monday: Following more than a week off for spring break, OU will resume practice Monday. The Sooners will hold their first open scrimmage next Saturday.
